Song of the Bowerbirds

The Bowerbirds’ “Northern Lights” has been getting a lot of attention in the blogosphere. The song is from the Raleigh, North Carolina band’s upcoming album “Upper Air.” It’s a slow-building, guitar-drums-piano country ballad. The opening chords sound like a stripped down version of Wilco’s “Late Greats.”

It’s a good tune. Check it out for yourself. The video (below) is “In Our Talons,” a little gypsy number from the band’s first album “Hymns for a Dark Horse.”
